about

I wrote this song as and early childhood educator a long time ago for a specific class. We have actually played this live as a band for years since it is so fun and it deserved being recorded. I wasn't sure if we should include it on the album or do a single, but Rodney said something to the effect of, "One can always use a touch of whimsy", and I agree. In fact at the end of the day it even seemed appropriate to use some of the lyrics as the album title. Because to me, it's the ability to change your thinking, find nuance, and learn new things that makes a difference in the ways we co-exist on this tiny planet.
Pluto was a planet. Now it's a Dwarf Planet. We learned something new and we changed how we think about it... How about that.

lyrics

Space

Planets and suns and moons and meteors
Satellites and rockets with robot features
Black holes, comets, the Milkyway Galaxy
That's where Earth lives because of gravity
Space
We like space
We Like Space

The sun is enormous so Mercury looks tiny
Venus and Earth are about the same sizey
Mars seems small, 'cause Jupiter is HUGE
Then comes Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Space
We like space

In space no one wants to slow you down
Fast is the only way to get around
Space
We like space

Some of the planets have more than one moon
Some have rings that's a whole 'nother tune
Some folks are sayin', "What about Pluto?"
It's a dwarf planet, we learned somethin' new
Space
We like space

In space no one wants to slow you down
Fast is the only way to get around
In space there's so much space to be found,
you don't have to walk you just float around
In space there's so much in front of you
Infinity means there's no end to view
Space
We like space

Interlude

Countdown!
BLAST OFF!!!!!!!!

(rocket to space madness)

Space
We like space
